The Diary Of Onebrokelady Aged 60 And A Half

Onebrokelady

Today at work was very quiet so I got some more IT problems sorted. I am now able to see my Roster so at least I know when I'm supposed to be at work. I also emailed the relevant people to sort out my access to my payslips. I'm now off for 12 days so will hopefully have a solution to the problem when I get back.

Health wise it's not been a good day, in fact it's been awful and I really have had enough so I'm going to take every painkiller I can get my hands on and go to bed.

Im meeting a friend for coffee tomorrow so I'm hoping I won't be in so much pain 🤞🤞Sometimes I can suck it up and battle through but today is not one of those days 😢

Sorry to hear you’re in so much pain. I hope tomorrow is better and you can enjoy your coffee date 🤞 Hopefully you’ll be well enough to enjoy your time off. 

Your dad is very lucky that your mum stuck by him. Families eh 🙁

Families can be very trying sometimes. We have some issues with DH's family at the moment and I am having to bite my tongue to not tell them what I think of them. 
Hope the pain is gone by the morning. X

Oh bless your dad thinking he’s 45 ❤️ I might start thinking I’m 45 again too 😆 

I told him if he wanted to be 45 then that was just fine 😂

I've spent 48 years biting my tongue which I strongly suspect in probably behind most of my health problems now. It's a constant internalised stress

Sorry today is a bad day. I think your dad needed to hear she hadn't just abandoned them. It sounds like that settled him. Each individual is different, my nana spoke about my grandad being at work for months and my mum would tell her he had died. It never ended well and five minutes later she would say he was out shopping. My mum just eventually agreed with her, but this was what was best for her. Your dad must have been really dwelling on that and I'm glad you provided comfort to him, even if he has forgotten again. 

Hope you get to have your coffee x

I hope your pain levels are better today, and enjoy your time off.

It sounds like you did the right thing with your Dad.  It must be very hard.

Yes that's what I decided, it was a risk telling him and I wouldn't if I hadn't had it in my mind that it was bothering him. DD2 works with people with dementia and she said you should try and tell them the truth if at all possible
